Hatching troubles first time

[WVduckchick]

I’m sorry, the pic looks dead to me. Are you positive you are seeing definite movement of the duckling inside?

I thought it was. Will it hurt to leave it with the others?

Also, Ive got 2 more little cheepers. The air cells had grown a little more before they internally pipped, but i still think they look small. Should i make a hole for them just in case, or let them be? These 2 are at day 28 today

Any updates? What’s the current situation. Still just that one egg giving you worries? Air hole in it?

Im worried about all of them now! I know that one of them has air holes at 31 days and is moving, but hasnt pipped externally yet. One i think is dead bc of the yellow stuff flooding into the air sac (also 31 days), and 3 are at 28 days today. 2 of those were shadowing the last time i checked them this morning, one is getting there, all three are moving, and all 3 have air sacs that worry me bc they are smaller than I would like to see them. It is frustrating not really having the confidence of knowing what to expect or what exactly to do.

It shouldn’t hurt to leave any in the incubator, even if they’ve quit. The trouble comes with rotten ones, and usually they start smelling really bad before anything bad happens. So just let you nose guide you.

Bad eggs should be removed better safe than sorry.

If you can get any of their heads out and let themselves get their bodies out that would stop them from drowning in the egg

Have u been using more than a teaspoonfull of water for humidity? Remember eggs can breath so excess water will be absorbed by the egg thus drowning all chicks. Sorry.
